Book Reviews of Celebrity Detox: (The Fame Game)
Book Review: The truth about BEING a HUMAN.......BEING!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rosie O'Donnell is without a doubt a true gift to humanity!
I read this book straight through....could not put it down. Everyone of us has felt what she wrote about at one time or another in our lives, the real question is whether or not the rest of us are willing to look at those feelings and actually have the courage to admit to them. She is brilliant on all levels, always has been, always will be.
The purest form of vulnerability, stripped right down to the core and shared to aid in the healing of her own heart while simultaneously aiding in the healing of all who read it.
I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I felt rage, I felt joy, I felt anguish, I felt fear......I fell into the depths of my own truth and my own life. All of which somehow are entangled with hers, although they are two different worlds, two different pieces to the puzzle of being human.
Rosie O'Donnell encompasses all that is real and substantial in our world. A brilliant mind, a vibriant soul, a depth of character that for me speaks straight to my gut, my heart, my yellow!!
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!
Book Review: From the heart of her loss she see's the world differently.
Summary: 5 Stars
For most of us our childhoods escaped the traumatic loss of a parent. Our view of the world for the most part left unfractured by grief.
Rosie O'Donnell was not that lucky. The death of her mother was the birth of her broken heart and the pain of that loss lives on in constant adjustment throughout her life.
Courageously she shares the journey of that loss and the yearning for her Mom and the fear of abandonment and betrayal by women who trigger the memory of that relationship. Rosie has already lived through the worse loss of her life that gives her the back bone to tell it like it is. She has survived living through her truth but this view collides with those who live in the luxury of innocence.
I found the book to be true to who she is with no IFB to coach her to buffer her reality. If you don't like the honest truth you will not like this book. Pick it up again when life throws you against the wall and it may make sense to you then.
Book Review: Read-worthy; personal depth with a clear voice.
Summary: 5 Stars
Rosie's style of writing makes for a clean read; her voice comes through loud and clear (but NOT annoying!) This is a wonderful presentation from someone who is not afraid to share her real feelings in print and in art. You can see her expressive artwork in Linda Woods and Karen Dinino's Journal Revolution: Rise up and Create!
Journal Revolution: Rise Up and Create! Art Journals, Personal Manifestos and Other Artistic Insurrections
I found the subjects she writes about intriguing (love the peek at inside workings of The View) and purging (enjoyable to see Mr. Dump Truck blasted by the master!)Totally worth a purchase. Yes, I will read this one again after a bit (and I don't do that very often!)
Book Review: Real and Raw ! A year without alot of Yellow and lot of plastic faces
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must read for anyone who is a fan of the kind hearted Rosie.Who she is, who she would love to be, and why you would know it would be better off if she wasn't .For Rosie to turn into one of those plastic people would be, not be, the lady that she really has become to all her true friends .Plus, all the true friends still unkown friends that she will meet during her journey on this planet we have come to know as life .Many of us are scearching for ever and never really have the thrill of being able do for others as she has be blessed to do during her short time on this this earth .Can't wait for next book to come out. Life in a couple hours of reading that has taken so many years to make. Hurry Ro, as I am getting old, 69 around the corner and I would for you to be able crank out books much faster so I can read them all.Book Review: Home run for Rosie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well written, thoughtful autobiography. Rosie has a warm spot for Barbara Walters, who she sees as a mother figure. Even though they had a big blowup at one point, it seems they got closer because of it. Like layers of an onion being peeled off their professional and personal relationship and getting down to basic raw emotions.
For all her bluster, Rosie is a sentimental, sensitive person. She also sees in Barbara Walters a person who's been hurt over the years, but who bravely maintains a calm, together persona. She doesn't think Ms. Walters is "old" but rather perhaps physically and mentally tired from the ups & downs of public life as an entertainer.
Well worth reading!
